Integrated Science Mid-Term Study Guide
Date of midterm exam:______Time of midterm exam: ______
DON’T BE LATE!
If you complete this entire study guide packet, it will be worth up to 3 bonus points on the mid-term exam.
Rules:
1. The entire packet must be complete. Use separate sheets of paper to define all the terms and answer all the questions. You must respond to each point. If it is not a question, turn the statement into a question and answer it.
2. The packet must be turned in when you come to take the test. NO LATE PACKETS WILL BE ACCEPTED!
The study guide packet covers the chapters in the first semester. To properly prepare for the exam you should:
1. Review this packet
2. Organize and review your notes
3. Review old tests & quizzes
4. Start Early!!
Bring to the exam: A #2 pencil with an eraser and a calculator. In addition you should bring a book or magazine to occupy you if you finish early. You will not be able to leave and go to your locker so bring everything with you.
Good Luck!
Remember: Your exam accounts for 10% of your average for the year!
